Lord Duckhunter

If he had any decency he would stand down now. Had I done it at work, I couldn't say to the boss I'll resign in 2015 .....

If I acted like that during my works Xmas party I would be sacked. Let's hope the Labour party chuck him out, followed by the voters.

Every single Skate I've spoken to has always trotted out the line that there is a covenant protecting Fratton for sporting use only. This has now been shown to be total ********.

Born in Southampton, lived there until aged 10, when dads job took us around a fair bit. Now settled in Poole First game 1969ish , can't really remember as they all seemed to merge into each other as a 5 year old. Remember my first away game, Birmingham about '73ish Fav memory was obviously '76 (Dad didn't take me, never forgiven him, but went to the homecoming), Watford Semi was a great feeling as I went with my boy and Sister and it was great to reach the final again. Also loved the Alan Ball survival season, great memories esp Le Tiss.

When it comes to rubbish and over rated 70's songs. Bohemian Rhapsody-pretentious crap Imagine-Dirge

I cant see what the problem is. I think Fat Sam is spot on, they would have 10 points more if Lambert was playing for them.

I've no sympathy for you as you clearly want to pick and choose your games. Why wouldn't you "want" to go to the Donny game,could understand if you couldn't go. But how can you complain about the treatment you're getting, when you dont want to watch the side because its not a "big" game.

They have not been sticking to that. I was working last night, so couldn't go. I rang up to get tickets for Barnsley and was going to get ipswich, to ensure Cov tickets. When I was talking to the guy and explained that the Ipswich ticket wouldn't be used and I was just paying for it to ensure Cov tickets, he told me it was one or the other (Barnsley or Ipswich). The tickets (Barnsley/Cov) came together in the post the next day.

Some people need to get a grip. Reading have come on a great run, winning 7 on the spin. The fact that they're still behind us, even if they do win their game in hand shows that we've been pretty decent after our mini blip.They could go on and win another 3 or 4 in a row, but histroy tells us 10/11 wins in a row in this league is pretty much impossible. Leicester will be tough for them, and if they lose that, our point Tuesday will look a lot better (provided we beat Barnsley).We then have Millwall away and Hull away, followed by Donny home. Pick up 6 points in those 3 and we'll still be above them (imo). That'll leave us top in the top 2 facing Blackpool on the last day of March,when they go to West Ham. We have 2 winnable home games in April, 2 easyish away fixtures and a home game against the team directly in competition with us. They go to Brighton, have Leeds, come to us and have to go to Birmingham, our toughest will be a trip to Boro. Hudders chased us during the run in and couldn't pip us and I dont think Reading will either.

Channon had a pretty decent England career as well, scored 20 odd goals and also captained the side if I remember rightly. Somebody once told me he was the most capped player never to play at a World cup (English player), but I dont know if that's true. Both were legends, Matt on his day was the best, but Mick had more "days", played for England more and was my hero, so slightly edges it in my opinion. If Lambert fires us the the Premier league, he'll be up there slightly below Mick & Matt in my legends list.

I showed my class after the game, by turning to my mate and laughing, before saying "how the **** did we get away with that". I dont think Warnock did any thing wrong, most people watching would have thought the same.

I'm surprised Adkins didn't resign over this. I've no doubt he wanted to tell Jewell to **** off and that Read is interfering by telling him to **** off first. Telling another club to **** off when they make a bid for your top players is most certainly the Managers job. Could you see SAF accepting anyone else telling Swansea to **** off if they bid for Wayne Rooney. Adkins needs to grow a pair and tell Read " I do the **** offing round here".

This thread has run into god knows how many pages, has contained as many twists and turns as an Agatha Christie tale, but still continues to surprise and shock me. It's done the same again this afternoon. Posters saying that Westwood seems a decent bloke away from football, surely this is the most far fethched part of the whole saga.

I was able to get a couple on Sunday, but this has been a right cock up. They should have said from the word go that it was only for 2 days.

I was shouting at the radio for Keys or Gray to ask Storrie about the "coincidence" that Chinny and Gayder's daddy had history. I also wanted them to ask if Al mirage was a real person. Very poor interview, allowed Storrie-Teller off the hook. Much more interesting was the Press pass last night on the same station. Des Kelly said "we all know what was going on at Portsmouth and the real reason people got involved, but in view of Talksport lawyers, we better leave it." or word to that effect (I'd had a few by then)

It's a win win for me. Skates win or draw and I'll congratulate my Skate mate and text him my thanks. Lose and I'll text him, "going down with no money in the bank"

I agree, I thought he panicked and with a little bit of composure could have cleared to ball further up the line.

I would have taken 7 points from this week, but now the toughest is out of the way, will be really dissapointed with anything less than the maximum. To go to Leeds, on TV, Warnocks first home game, play poorly and still win was a massive massive result. I've no doubt the players will be thinking the same, this is a great opportunity and bearing a Kelvin like performance from Ipswich or Barnsley keeper, can not see us slipping up. Leicester at home is a bannana skin for Reading. Looking at our remaining fixtures, ww should really cross that line.

I would have thought the ability to spell was quite important when producing a newspaper. Not doing so does hint at a lack of professionalism ( and before anyone says anything, my spelling is awful, but I dont write for a newspaper).

Spooky, I was thinking the very same thing whilst watching MoTD last night.

I dont know the answer to that, I would think that the new CVA will be under the new laws. However is there anything stopping the FL/FA bringing in new rules in return for the golden share. What potential investers(if there are any) wont want is uncertainty. Although on paper the football creditors rule being abolished looks good for them, I dont think it is. It may wipe a lot of debt, but who on earth is going to sign for them.No clubs will offer any sort of transfer terms or want to deal with them. Well run, finacially viable clubs will hoover up all the better palyers.

I think Cork's been off his game for a couple of months now, he's been a bit inconsistant. Chaplow is still getting back from an injury, he'll need time to get back to what he was.

I agree with you, I also despair whether people know anything about football. Anybody who things Harding is "better defender" clearly does not. Harding is out of his depth at this level. Fox is not "marginally better" than Harding, but a different class. Harding would not get into any side in the top 2/3rds of this league, whereas there aren't many better than Fox.

Harding is my scapegoat, he is useless and not up to it IMO. I would play Richardson or Butterfield on the left (with the other playing RB) before playing him.

No, I never said that. I just think they'll go up and with a few points to spare.
